Senator PaScO.

The news of his nomination came so
late last night that our congratulations
were not rendered to our new Federal
Senator. Others will give the particu-
lars of his foreign birth-his faithful SER
vice in war and peace, his self-sacrificing
work for the party and his final reward,
which proves that the people know, at
last, that faithful service must be recoS-
nized.
That the reward has been tardy will
be forgotten in it's amplitude. which
royalty balances the account. Without
stint has he served-the party pays him
its richest guerdon. Never has he failed
to respond when his name was called al
time of need-the reward is without
stint also. That it has been long delayed
is due mainly to the character of the
man. Sam Pasco lacks the magnetic
brilliancy and ready memory of Blox

.Copstruetfye Mileage


Section of the House Bill No. 2S3 in
troduced by Mr.. Duncan, of Sumter,
reads thus:
s.SEC. Z. Every Sheriff in presenting any
bill for mileage against the State shall
certify that no constructive mileage Is
charged therein, and it shall be the dut ~
of the Board of County Commissioners
before approving any bill against the
State to ascertain that NO constructive
mileage or charge for anything but act
ual miles necessarily travelled by the
nearest route, or actual necessary ser
vices or actual and necessary expenses,
which may be chargeable against the
State, are contained therein
We would suggest that the payment
for constructive mileage and con
structive service is already prohibited
by our law. Yet nearly every county in
the State has been robbed, persistently
and heavily, in defiance of the statute,
and ignorant jurors are easily puzzled as
| to the meaning of these terms In each
| case the only defence is the assertion
that lit is done everywhere and the
custom has become so general that prec-
edent has practically crystallized into

Mr.. Hind, of Putnam, has moved to
amend our new charter by doubling the
salary of the Mayor. We do not know
where the honorable gentleman gets his
inspiration, but our people should know
what is being done that their wishes
may be observed in the matter. "A pro-
test from the Council, the Board of
Trade, or a meeting of the citizens would
be of conclusive weight with the Legis-
lature. Surely while the city is too poor
to look properly after its sanitary inter-
ests increase in the pay of officers would
be unadvisable, and our mayoralty is
now matter of contest sufficiently
heated and bitter without doubling the

PUtnam's Amendment.

Following is the text of the amend
ment to the Railroad Commission bill
offered by Mr. Hind, of Putnam, on the
16th.-ED. News.
Mr.. Hind offered the following:
Add to section q:
The railroad companies shall have the
right to make from time to time their
own tariffs, rules and regulations, but
these shall be subject to the powers
granted the Commissioners in sections
and 8, which powers shall be exercised
only in the following way:
If any complaint is made by the Com
mission, or by Commissioner, by the
State or any municipal or other corpor-
alton, or by any person or persons, OF
any act or omission to act, or any tariff
| rule or regulation of a railroad company
| the commission shall notify the parties
| in interest when and where hearing
| will be had OF the complaint and at that
time and place shall hear the allegations
and evidence of both parties. The
evidence shall be reduced to writ
ing. The Commission shall ther
| summarily decide the matter. Its de
/ cision shall take immediate effect and bt
| conclusive mot only in the matter de
| cided or as to the person interested
/ therein but as to all matters and persons
/ in similar easel unless and until there
| after the decision shall be revoked oil
modified on appeal. An appeal shall bs
| allowed to the Circuit Court of the coun
ty in which the complaint originated
| This appeal may be taken either by thu
| Commission. or by the complain
ant, or by the railroad company. Th'
| appeal shall be heard forthwith, IL
| term time or vacation, upon tin
| evidence submitted to the Commis
| sion, and all the costs thereof, includln,
reasonable attorneys fees for the Othe
side, shall be taxed against the railroa'
company. AS long as the award remain
in force, it shall be obeyed by the rail
road company, and the latter shall hav
no right of action against anyone for an
loss incurred or damage suffered by re;'
son of said obedience.
| Mr.. Mcclellan moved that the amend
ment be laid on the table;
